Parashat Teruma / Parshas Truma -

Описание: Parashat Truma – The Secret of Giving from the Heart

In this shiur on Parashat Truma, we explore the deeper meaning of the mitzvah of giving — not just as charity, but as tzedakah, a sacred responsibility to manage and distribute our resources properly and with heart.

The Torah introduces the building of the Mishkan with the words: “ויקחו לי תרומה… מאת כל איש אשר ידבנו לבו” — giving that flows from inner generosity. What does it mean to truly give? And how do we know when, how, and to whom to give?

In this class, we explore powerful stories and Torah teachings, including:

✨ The well-known story from the Gemara about Rabbi Akiva’s daughter, whose quiet act of giving saved her life.
✨ A striking story about a mekubal who refused to sell a can of Coke — only to later witness the tragic consequences that followed.
✨ The legendary fundraising mesirut nefesh of Rabbi Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman, and what we can learn about communal responsibility and vision.
✨ The mitzvah of mishloach manot on Purim and its deeper spiritual message.
✨ How to approach requests for charity — balancing compassion with discernment, and sincerity with wisdom.

This shiur challenges us to rethink giving:
Is it obligation or opportunity?
Is it charity or justice?
Are we reacting — or responding from a place of inner generosity?

Drawing from Torah sources, Chazal, and contemporary examples, this class reveals that giving is not only about helping others — it is about refining ourselves.
